	Engineering in New Zealand - North Island
		This centre rail is in profile like a dumb-bell - similar, that is to say, to a track rail of the type used in Great Britain, apart from the fact that the head and foot are equal in size - but it is laid on its side, instead of in the vertical position.
		The purpose of the centre rail is to provide for additional adhesion, and the Fell locomotives, in addition to their ordinary driving wheels, are provided underneath, with a pair of horizontal driving wheels, one on either side of the centre rail.
		During this idle period, however, the bore was not entirely without use, for horsemen and pack horses made a practice of passing through it on their way to the King Country, running the risk of getting "bogged" in the stiff clay somewhere in the middle of this fl hole in the hills.

	British Rail Class 185 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Class 185 is a diesel multiple-unit passenger train built by Siemens in Germany for the British train operating company TransPennine Express.
		In addition, due to their higher axle weight and route availability, which is RA 5 compared to the RA 2 of a Class 158, they are too heavy to run at the faster speed limits designed for lighter trains that are in place on many parts of the TransPennine network.
		The "inter city"-style 2+1 first class seating, electrical power outlets throughout the train, large windows with excellent seat alignment, improved air conditioning and the improved seating in standard class have attracted much favourable comment; the loss of seats relative to an equivalent three-coach 158 means that more passengers are forced to stand at peak times.

	Locomotive Speed Records
		British appetite for high speed was first whetted, probably, by the famous "races" to Scotland which took place in 1888 and 1895.
		The 1888 race to Edinburgh was precipitated by the fact that the Great Northern, North Eastern, and North British Railways, forming the East Coast route, decided to admit third-class passengers to the "Flying Scotsman," whereas up till then the principal trains by both routes bad been first and second class only.
		As a footnote, L.N.E.R. class A4, "Mallard" attained a speed of 126 miles an hour, on the descent from Stoke Summit in 1938, a world record for a steam locomotive, which is held to this day.........

	Social Classes - Proletariat
		The extreme degree of economic concentration and class polarization can be further seen by the fact that only 6% of wage workers in the private sector work for the petty proprietors; the remaining 94% work for the capitalist class (employers of five or more workers).
		The characteristics that distinguish this class from the petty-bourgeois strata of wage-earners are its separation from the responsibilities of management, the relatively greater weight of manual labor in its work, the relatively smaller amount of education required to carry out its work, and, for the great majority, lower wages and worse working conditions.
		With the deepening of the economic crisis the capitalist class is forced to narrow the ranks of the labor aristocracy, reducing many to the position of common workers.

		Rail transit does this best, which is why DVARP believes that good rail transit is essential to the quality of life in the Delaware Valley.
		The 'commuter rail' operations of most other North American transit properties are not meant to serve as many different travel markets as the European 'regional rail' systems; they gear their service towards a single market of middle-to-upper class downtown office workers who drive to a station and ride an express train downtown.
		Better rail access to airports is needed, but the stations should be at the terminal and not at the edge of the field.

		For just 15% more than the second class price, the first class pass is affordable and gives you more options on crowded trains.
		In either class, daytime TGV seat reservations cost $4 per seat in France or $11 in the U.S. The number of reservations available to passholders is limited, so it's wise to book early for weekends, summer, and any train you can't afford to miss.

	The Historical Struggle for Dominance in World Trade
		The British âexulted at their unique state, being now (as the economist Jevons put it in 1865) the trading center of the universe.â The world was Britainâs âcountryside,â a huge plantation system feeding its developed imperial-center-of-capital:
		Later, still under British control and ignoring the fact that the East Bengalis were being impoverished through dispossession of the land which produced their food and cotton, Bengal produced raw materials (indigo and jute) for world commerce, and poppies for the large, externally-imposed, Chinese opium market.
		The longer the British have been in a region, the poorer it is.â15 What applies to British colonialism applies to all colonialism and India and China were actually the least damaged of all colonial regions.
